Water Well Drilling in Wisconsin

Yes, in most cases. The Wisconsin DNR requires permits for new well construction. Additionally, some counties have their own specific permitting requirements. When you choose Sam's Well Drilling, we handle the entire permitting process for you. We have decades of experience working with the DNR and local county officials to ensure your well is fully compliant with all state and local regulations.

The time it takes to drill a well in Wisconsin can vary depending on the depth and the geological conditions of your property. However, most residential wells are completed in just a day or two. As the largest driller in Wisconsin, we have a large fleet of modern rigs, which allows us to schedule and complete your project faster than our competitors.

Absolutely. We are equipped to drill wells year-round, even during the cold Wisconsin winters. Our specialized equipment can handle frozen ground, so you don't have to wait for a spring thaw to get access to clean water. We recommend laying straw over the area where the water line will enter the house to prevent freezing during new construction projects.

Unused wells can be a direct conduit for contaminants to enter our precious groundwater and can also be a safety hazard. Wisconsin's DNR has specific regulations for well abandonment. Sam's Well Drilling is fully licensed to properly seal and abandon old wells according to state code, protecting both your family and the environment. We handle all the necessary paperwork, including filing the Well Abandonment Report with the DNR.
